Lest you think they’ll never release the debut LP they promised a couple years back, Cosmetics are clearing their archives this Saturday with a Record Store Day release called Olympia…Plus. Originally pressed as a limited cassette, it pairs the duo’s first two Captured Tracks singles with an EP-sized collection of scrapped tracks from a Dub Narcotic session that went largely unheard for the past couple years.
It’s no wonder why they’re finally getting a proper vinyl release; bathed in black-lit beats and breathy melodies, songs like “Breathless” and “Heartbeat” wouldn’t sound out of place on Italians Do It Better’s next After Dark compilation or in the middle of a Minimal Wave DJ set. As for when we’ll hear an actual Cosmetics album, Captured Tracks insist “it’s coming, we promise.”
Download “Honey Honey” below along with full streams of the group’s Bandcamp releases…
